"The company says CLOiD's two articulated arms with five individually actuated fingers are designed to help with a variety of household tasks. However, LG has not yet given a specific example of a task CLOiD can handle. We're also not sure what it looks like, because aside from a couple of very close-up images of CLOiD's hands, LG is keeping what the robot looks like under wraps until the show."
"LG said CLOiD is part of the company's vision that "Zero Labor Home, Makes Quality Time." It said its robot is a step toward a company goal of "freeing customers from the time-consuming demands of housework." CLOiD's chipset is housed in its head, which also sports a display, speaker, camera and a bevy of sensors meant to enable expressive communication. LG says its new robot is powered by its "Affectionate Intelligence" technology and is designed to interact in a neutral, user-friendly way. It's also designed to refine its responses through repeated interactions with a user."
CLOiD is a two-armed, five-fingered home robot designed to assist with a variety of household tasks through articulated manipulation. The robot includes individually actuated fingers to enable finer manipulation of objects. The head houses the chipset plus a display, speaker, camera and multiple sensors to support expressive communication. CLOiD is powered by "Affectionate Intelligence" technology and is intended to interact in a neutral, user-friendly manner while refining responses through repeated interactions with a user. Visual details remain limited aside from close-up images of the hands. Demonstrations will occur at LG's booth during CES, with commercial prospects uncertain.
